"Yes, yes, my subordinates will definitely complete the reform of the Qinglou as soon as possible." Li Suran said nervously.

Liu Xia said slightly: "Wen Yuan, in the future, the review of the Qinglou and other matters will be handed over to your Investigation Division Headquarters for completion, you must be firm in your principles and stick to the law, do you hear?" Zhang Wenyuan was shocked, Liu Xia said this is not to tell him, don't be corrupt and take bribes, otherwise you will be the first to do it, Zhang Wenyuan lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Liu Xia, at this time his back was also soaked, and said respectfully: "My subordinates understand, I will not let the prince down." ”

"By the way, each city has a special street, and then all the certified green buildings in the city are stationed in it, and no other places are allowed to have green buildings. In addition, it is strictly forbidden to casinos, the king knows that it is impossible to completely ban gambling, but the king thought of a compromise solution, that is, to build a new city three hundred miles east of Luoyang City, the king called him the city that never sleeps, and all the casinos in the future must be moved to it if they want to open, otherwise they are not allowed to open casinos, and the casino profit is not allowed to be less than seventy. The casino must also be certified by the government, otherwise it will be strictly investigated for violating the law! ”

Chen Liu thought to himself after hearing this: It's making money again! That's right, Liu Xia is making money, because Liu Xia deeply feels that the expenses are large, and the income is small, although he has just seized five million taels of silver and five hundred thousand taels of gold in Shaanxi before, Liu Xia's treasury is very abundant. However, Liu Xia said to the people that they were exempt from tax for three years, that is to say, they did not have to pay agricultural taxes for three years, and now China is a big agricultural country, industry and commerce are basically destroyed because of the war, and all taxes are supported by agriculture.

But where does this money come from? Although Liu Xia has established a glass factory and a steel factory, although the glass factory has begun to sell exquisite glass, it is also a drop in the bucket. And the steel mill is still losing money at this time. Liu Xia can only revitalize the economy to collect commercial taxes, and at the same time rectify these high-profit Qinglou casinos.

"Lord Wang, this casino ......" Zhang Wenyuan looked at Liu Xia, but seeing Liu Xia's gloomy face, Zhang Wenyuan still didn't continue, the profits of the casino are so large Everyone knows that any casino is backed by a big family or a large number of officials, and now Liu Xia's move is not to cut off their financial route. Although they are still making profits, they are very, very much less.

"Smack!" How could Liu Xia not know what Zhang Wenyuan was thinking, wasn't he worried that many officials would oppose it and even create chaos? Liu Xia shouted angrily: "This king does not raise you officials to fish and flesh the people, not to earn money, but to let you benefit the people." How much time has it taken for this Luoyang City to be laid now? Could it be that officials are already corrupt to this extent? No, this king has to check! The most indispensable thing in the land of China is people, and the most indispensable thing among these tens of millions of people is those who want to be officials, tell those people that if they take over this king, they should not be held accountable, if they want to make trouble for this king, and do it against this king, then don't blame this king's subordinates for being ruthless. ”

Liu Xia said that he could do it, most of the reasons for the demise of a dynasty were due to official corruption, Liu Xia did not expect that now he has just gained a firm foothold for less than two years, and the appointment of officials is less than a year, there are so many corruption problems, this must not be easily calculated, otherwise it may not be what it will become in the future. This cancer must be cut off as soon as possible.

After Liu Xia's order was passed down, all the investigators of the county government were waiting to arrest people, and the local garrison regiment guarding the city tower also received Liu Xia's order to cooperate with the government's actions, and if necessary, they could intervene in the battle, and if they were resisted, they would be killed.

Suddenly, the Qinglou gambling houses in most counties of Luoyang Mansion, Guide Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion, and Ruzhou Mansion, as well as some official families, were all panicked.

In a large mansion in Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, a group of people are discussing, including many local officials.

"Mao Cheng, you are the chief of the Civil Affairs Bureau of our Xiangfu County, can't you be accommodating, besides, the gambling house also has your share of money." An obese middle-aged man is humane to a middle-aged man in his thirties.

The person called Mao Cheng always frowned tightly, he didn't expect things to develop like this, and said: "I didn't expect the prince to issue such an order, alas, what do you say, Brother Wang?" With that, he looked at another middle-aged man. This middle-aged man's name is Wang Wenda, and he is the deputy director of the Civil Affairs Department of Kaifeng Prefecture, and his official position is much bigger than Mao Cheng.

Wang Wenda said: "The prefect has already begun to mobilize the personnel of the Investigation Department to seal up all the gambling houses and green buildings in Kaifeng, and I can't control the prefect at all!" ”

"Hua Yanchi is the first batch to become an official, and he is also the first batch to be promoted, with the expansion of the territory of the Pingbei Army in the future, his career will definitely get higher and higher, and he is naturally not something we can reach."

At this time, an obese old man in his fifties dressed in silk silk said: "Let's send 10,000 silver dollars to Huayan Pond and pull Huayan Pool into the water." Then he sent five thousand silver dollars to the people of the Investigation Department. ”

"I'm afraid this won't work, Hua Yanchi will definitely not want our things, and those people in the Investigation Department are all officers before King Zheng, they are very loyal to King Zheng, it is not easy to pull into the water, not to mention that this time King Zheng is determined to rectify the gambling house Qinglou, we are afraid that no one can stop it."

"If we let him rectify it, what profit will we have there! They're going to take 70 percent of the profits. ”

"Li Lao is right, seventy percent of the profits are too high. I think that at this time, we must not only discuss countermeasures together, but also other governments, so we might as well unite a large number of officials to advise King Zheng and force King Zheng to cancel the rectification of the gambling house, or reduce taxes, but at most not more than 20%. ”

"Lao Ma said it well, I'm going to go, unite all the officials who oppose it, I believe there will be a lot of people. When so many people oppose it, King Zheng will definitely give up. ”

"Okay, that's it, everybody's ready."

After two days of peace, on the third day, the opposition finally broke out, and the letters like snowflakes continued to be transmitted to the Zheng Wangfu, and even hundreds of officials went to Luoyang to kneel outside the Zheng Wangfu to ask Liu Xia to withdraw the rectification regulations.

But what's interesting is that these hundreds of people are all low-level officials, as for those prefects, directors and the like, no one dares to object, because they have been with Liu Xia for a long time and know Liu Xia's methods, where do they dare to oppose Liu Xia? Only these new officials, far from Luoyang, dared to do so, and they followed the example of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty and knelt outside King Zheng's mansion.

In the Ming Dynasty, many ministers liked to oppose the emperor's orders, and then a large number of people knelt outside the gate and begged the emperor to take back his orders. If the emperor is angry and beaten, it is even better, because this can improve his reputation and show that this person is not afraid of authority and dares to speak.

However, these people miscalculated the form, they were not scholars of the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Xia was not one of those emperors of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, Liu Xia led a large number of personnel from the investigation department, walked out of King Zheng's Mansion with a sneer, and came to the square outside King Zheng's Mansion. On the outside, a bunch of people watched the excitement.

"Please take back your fate!"

"Please take back your fate!"

"The prince has arrived!"

At this time, more than 100 people raised their heads one after another, thinking: "Liu Xia is finally willing to see it, hmph, I don't believe that you Liu Xia will not take back his life." ”

Liu Xia glanced at the more than 100 people with disgust, the details of these people Liu Xia found out all of them clearly at this time, basically everyone has the experience of corruption and bribery, originally Liu Xia also felt that as long as they carried out their orders, the previous accounts would be written off, after all, it is not easy to train an official.

But today, they are so persecuted, which makes Liu Xia very angry, no matter how difficult it is to train an official, these people can't stay!

"Someone! Something will come right away! Liu Xia shouted angrily.
